"Stories are wild creatures, the monster said. When you let them loose, who knows what havoc they might wreak?” PATRICK NESSTranslation project "TELL ME YOUR STORY" brings together seven very different authors from all around Europe (Denmark, Norway, Finland, Switzerland, Italy, United Kingdom) whose stories offer very original, highly personal perspective to the European (or, in this case, Slovenian) reader. Some of these authors are already well established among Slovenian readers, the others still need to be introduced. We will therefore continue our practice of inviting authors to Slovenia, so that their stories will be heard and spread in direct, interactive contact with the reading public (last year's visit of one of the chosen authors Patrick Ness being an excellent example). We deliberately chose some very recent works together with a few lesser known classics with whom they share certain distrust when face value of established narratives is concerned. All chosen works function on many different levels and even those belonging to a certain genre (like Le Carre's espionage classic) tend to transcend it and in some ways work as a metaphor for people's daily lives.It's important to emphasize that our project certainly revolves around the first book of the unusual and brave six-book autobiographic sequence Min kamp by the Norvegian author Karl Ove Knausgaard, a fantastic storyteller, with whom we would like to continue in the second and third year of the Framework partnership. The fact that his and all other chosen works will also be available in e-book form (already an established format at our publishing house) will no doubt ensure the best possible circulation of these stories which will be in the safe hands of the skilled team of translators.
